Inspiration from Cath Kidston

This project has been hanging around for a while and I finally got around to finishing it!Apologies for the awful lighting; it's very dark up here today but I needed a bigger space to display the finished object than I could manage in my studio with its lovely daylight lamp.


I was inspired by the colours that Cath Kidston uses in her styling. I originally started out with lemon yellow and peach in the mix too, but in the end I decided to stick with pale blue, pink, green, white and red.


I added a border of five rounds of the pale blue and a picot edging which gave the blanket slightly fluted appearance.


This blanket will be on its way to a friend next week - happy snuggling!

  3. Hi Jill, I have just seen this! I am a lucky friend, it's a gorgeous blanket and it has brightened up my lounge sofa :) Even the Molly the rescue dog has taken a liking to it and often snuggles up in a big tight ball and snoozes off on it doing happy sighs. It's beautiful, thank you. Fiona x
